... away from the sobering surroundings of NATURE, the Italian paper cites Cronin as stating that his team's work has confirmed Darwin and Huxley in their theory of gradual evolution and that it is possible to show from fossil evidence such evolution at work' Variations in G source: NATURE 16/7 /81, p. 230-2 A piece titled "Geophysical evidence for non-newtonian gravity" tells of a series of determinations of the gravitational constant G in mines, bore-holes and marine surveys. The knowledge of the variation of G with depth permits the calculation of the density of intervening rock strata. However, when the density of such rocks has been accurately measured then calculations can be performed to check ...

... Quetzalcoatlus could fly. Subconscious Cooling source: New Scientist 5/11/81 In his review of the book Earthlike Planets, Dr Robert Muir Wood stated that Venus "has surface temperatures approaching 400 C. However, the value stated in New Scientist a year before (13/11/80) was 480 C. The Journal of Geophysical Research (Vol. 85, 1980, p. 8195) gave 730 K (457 C). Is there a subconscious desire to "cool down" the embarrassingly-hot planet of love? Eric Crew informs us that he has written to New Scientist about this error, but his letters are generally ignored. On the geological findings on ...

... their orientation begs an explanation. In his recent article, "The Orientation of the Pyramids" (10), Velikovsky attempts a compromise by stating: "In Worlds in Collision I described both kinds of change- in the direction of the axis and in the position of the poles; but in Earth in Upheaval, on the basis of geophysical facts, I ascribed a lasting change only to the first kind of displacement, and changes of temporal character to the second" (12). But nowhere in Earth in Upheaval is this point thus clarified. In his article Velikovsky maintains that when such a shift in the geographical pole occurs, the Earth's equatorial bulge would act as ...

... can be taken as causally related to each other, and nor do I think they are interconnected facets of an ongoing catastrophic scenario. Rather, they are scattered, independent signs' relevant to the prevailing political scene. The Mount Tai Chan event (an earthquake or landslide ?) and the River Lao event (a drought ?) are geophysical portents. The two suns (sun- dogs ?- see Part 2, p.118) and the agitation of the five planets (see above) are celestial portents. Finally, the barbarian invasion is very similar to the activity of the brigands and robbers, mentioned by way of a sociological portent' in the passage from ...

... interesting, much diversified nature, indicating that they are not an ancient ocean bottom, but rather a former continental expanse. This is further corroborated by the quality and quantity of the floor deposits of these areas of the Atlantic ocean. I do not think that it would be quite idle to search, in a general way, for further geophysical evidences of Lost Atlantis. ...

... , particularly in the matter of the energy flux they were supposed to carry: "the total solar wind energy flux is predicted to be dominated by the electron heat conduction flux, while in fact the electron heat conduction flux is observed to account only for some 3-4%, of the total flux" (J . Hollweg, Journal of Geophysicsal Research 81, 1649, April 1, 1976). And now Helios A seems to have shown that "solar wind electrons have a bi-Maxwellian distribution function" (EOS. Trans. Am. Geophys. Union 58, 44, January 1977), just as the discharge hypothesis would suggest. Therefore, although a lowering of the ...

... Earth. The disasters afflicting the world in those days were effects of both events. Until the crater or aerial explosion point of flaming yellow-haired Phaeton can be found and its size and traits used to evaluate the occurrence, the effects of the principal body's pass-by cannot be calculated. Inasmuch as the effects have been extensive and continuing, not only geophysically but socially, the research seems worthwhile. Because it is our favored theory that the Moon erupted from the Earth, we give less attention to the idea that we discarded some years ago, namely that the Pacific Basin originated in a meteoroidal impact. We do ascribe many impacts prior to the episode, based upon legendary indications (see ...

... all the indications of once having been oceanic crust material. Earlier attempts to explain their origins in situ have now been superseded by a recognition that their origins lie elsewhere (i .e . they are allochthonous) and have subsequently been transported to their present position. This transportation is fitted into a uniformitarian tectonic plate format by recourse to much geophysical theorizing, but it is admitted that the process is "poorly understood". Ideas in which material is subconducted beneath portions of oceanic crust, becoming less dense and therefore causing the crust and the land upon which it is emplaced forming mountains, lead to visions of a rather peculiar "convection" system in which material is both sinking ...

... ...the mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs...Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord." My first reaction to this is that the phrase "the mountains skipped like rams etc" is hardly the sort of thing one would expect to find in a description of terrible geophysical upheaval. It just doesn't fit somehow, and its nature is rather reminiscent of that other curious phrase "let the floods clap their hands", quoted earlier from Ps.98-8. Similar phraseology is also to be found in Ps.65:12 where "the little hills rejoice on every side" and in v. 13 ...
... the Stationary Period to the Breakdown Period It goes without saying that even after a satisfactory balance had been restored as far as rotation was concerned this balance was only empirical', not absolute. For one thing, the satellitic material had not come down evenly and been distributed in a perfect circle or, rather, arc of a circle. Geophysical research has ascertained that the terrestrial centre of gravity does not coincide with the exact centre of the figure of the Earth, but lies some way to the south of the geometrical centre. Hence a greater aggregation of heavy material must still remain in the southern hemisphere. The new equator eventually passed through northern Angola, the southern Belgian Congo ...
